After Super Talent unveiled a 6TB SSD RAID system this morning, we’re a bit baffled to see it hitting us with another item so soon. We suppose the great never rest, and thus Super Talent has decided to proclaim that its UltraDrive SSDs are all perfectly suited for use with Apple’s latest line of MacBooks, MacBook Pros and Mac Pros. The outfit’s UltraDrive ME and LE have been “self-certified” (in other words, Steve Jobs didn’t sign off on this) to function in the 13″ MacBook, 15″ and 17″ MacBook Pro and the quad-core/8-core
